We are only days away from consigning 2017 to the history books.
A decade after the global financial meltdown, the world has finally started to show signs of recovery, as China continues to tough it out with overdue structural reform delayed by the 2007 crisis.
China still has much catching up to do in many areas, such as finance, poverty alleviation and pollution. However, in the fields of e-commerce and the sharing economy, the country is poised to lead the world.
In the meantime, the lines between challenge and opportunity have grown ever thinner.
Moving closer to the center of the global stage, China is increasingly exposed to what is happening outside its territory, leading to it standing up time and time again in defense of globalization.
To bid adieu to 2017 and usher in 2018, CGTN has asked leading Chinese experts to share their views on the future of the Chinese economy, with topics ranging from finance and trade to fintech and macro-economic policy.
To understand our rapidly changing world, it usually makes sense to start with an anchoring point to set sail from. Such stable focal points are increasingly hard to come by.
Follow our expert commentaries on CGTN in the coming days to find some grounded perspective on 2017 and for 2018.
